Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 549 Li Shimin's Dissatisfaction
Chapter 545

Wei Hao and Li Chengqian were talking, when a maid suddenly interjected, Wei Hao was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of who this maid was.

"Wu Mei, don't talk nonsense!" Li Chengqian turned around and reprimanded Wu Mei.

"Oh, tell me, why can't His Royal Highness do it?" Wei Hao didn't care, anyway, he was looking forward to Wu Mei's performance.

"They didn't violate the law. If they bought those stocks at a high price, no one can say anything. In addition, if they forced the people to sell them the stocks, this matter will be under the control of the local county government. It is not appropriate for His Royal Highness to take action! "Wu Mei stood there, looked at Wei Hao and said,

She is also looking forward to seeing Wei Hao. In the capital, no one knows Wei Hao's reputation, especially in the East Palace. Li Chengqian relies on Wei Hao very much. Although Wei Hao doesn't come often, he knows that as long as Wei Hao supports him , then the other generals' children will definitely support him, and those old princes will also support him. Therefore, Li Chengqian attaches great importance to Wei Hao's attitude in all aspects.

"Well, is that all?" Wei Hao looked at Wu Mei and asked with a smile.

Wu Mei frowned when she heard what Wei Hao said, and then began to think about it.

"Don't forget, His Royal Highness is the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, and the entire Jingzhao Mansion is under the jurisdiction of His Royal Highness. Everything in Jingzhao Mansion is related to him, and the people are also related to him. If those workshops are used by others , began to reduce production, and even said that those people hollowed out this workshop and rebuilt a workshop. They made money, but those who bought stocks before all lost money. Who will take responsibility for this matter? To whom?" Wei Hao continued to look at Wu Mei and said.

"However, these are just reasons. His Royal Highness still has no basis for doing so, and cannot stop them from doing so. If His Royal Highness does this, he will offend many businessmen. Although the status of the businessmen is not high, they can pass on the news. A good reputation will have a great influence on His Highness the Crown Prince!" Wu Mei looked at Wei Hao and explained her reasons, Wei Hao heard it and looked at Li Chengqian.

"Yes, Shen Yong, I'm afraid this matter is really tricky!" Li Chengqian sat there, looked at Wei Hao and said, Wei Hao sighed in his heart, hesitated to say it.

"Shen Yong, what should I say? Your Highness doesn't know much about businessmen, you can tell him!" At this time, Su Mei came over and saw Wei Hao hesitating there, so she immediately said, now She seems to have changed.

"Your Highness, you are His Royal Highness, reputation is very important, but the community is even more important. Sometimes, you need to make a choice. If you want reputation, you can't say that it is wrong to disregard the people, but what you lose is the people's respect for you. support,

If you want the common people, regardless of your reputation, I believe your reputation will not be lost too much. In addition, think about it, if something goes wrong in those workshops, you will be the first one to be held accountable by the father, and the first person to be held accountable by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It is you who are responsible, and then the other five ministers. They need a lot of money to do things now. Originally, there are many plans in the court. If there is no money, how to do things?
As for those businessmen, their purpose is to make money, and they only want to make money, and they don’t care about other things. So, how to do it, you can think about it yourself. As for me, I’m going to Luoyang anyway, and I don’t lack this point Money, but the court is short of money! "Wei Hao sat there, looked at Li Chengqian and said.

"Gao Ming, listen to Shen Yong!" Su Mei was also sitting there, persuading Wei Hao.

"However, behind those businessmen, it is said that they are the Marquis, the Duke, or even the Prince. If His Highness goes down to stop them, there will be more people offended, and what they do now will not reduce your interests. When the time comes, you It won’t be a loss either, I also heard that they didn’t plan to bring down those workshops, they just wanted to grab the shares from the common people and become shareholders of those workshops!” Wu Mei stood behind, facing Wei Hao said, while Wei Hao stared at Li Chengqian. It seemed that Li Chengqian knew the news.

"Since His Highness already knows, I don't need to say anything!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Your Highness knows it, but you also know that His Highness is very busy right now. Many things on the side of the father are left to His Highness. It is difficult to have time to carefully weigh the pros and cons. I still need your help, Shen Yong. Analyze and analyze." Su Mei immediately took over the topic and said.

"Shen Yong, don't worry about this matter, I will think about it carefully, and I promise that there will be no major problems. Chang'an cannot be chaotic. If it is chaotic here, it will be troublesome!" Li Chengqian immediately said to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao nodded when he heard it, and knew in his heart that Li Chengqian would still listen to Wu Mei's words. If he had listened to Wu Mei's words, many old Dukes would be disappointed, even Li Shimin would be disappointed, but now he doesn't either. what to say
Then Wei Hao and Li Chengqian continued to chat, and the place they chatted with was whatever. Wei Hao wanted to leave a long time ago, but he really didn't want to chat with Li Chengqian anymore. That Wu Mei interrupted from time to time, which made Wei Hao very annoyed.
However, Su Mei's performance today surprised me. Moreover, Su Mei indulged Wu Mei so much, Wei Hao vaguely knew what she wanted to do, and she was going to kill Wu Mei. It's their family business, I can't talk nonsense,
After eating in the East Palace, Wei Hao was actually very depressed. Li Chengqian always made some mistakes. These mistakes were all low-level mistakes. You said he didn’t understand the general situation, isn’t it? He handled the government affairs very well. , but on some key things, he just made mistakes, and even said that it may not be a good thing to obey a woman,

Su Mei's involvement in politics before brought him a lot of trouble, but Wu Mei's like this, this only shows that it is not the problem of those women, but Li Chengqian's problem.

Not long after Wei Hao left the East Palace, he was stopped by Wang De.

"Wang Gonggong, what's the matter?" Wei Hao saw that it was getting dark at this time, why did he come here.

"Your Majesty asked the little one to wait for you here, saying that he has something to look for you!" Wang De said immediately, clasping his hands.

"Oh, father, is there nothing wrong?" Wei Hao was worried that there was something wrong with his body, so he told himself to go over at this time.

"It's nothing, it's just that His Majesty wants to find you!" Wang De immediately said with a smile and cupped his hands.

"That's okay, please!" Wei Hao immediately said to Wang De, and then followed Wang De to Chengtian Palace. When he arrived at Chengtian Palace, Wei Hao went directly to the fifth floor. Li Shimin sat in a warm room, watching books.

"I have seen my father!" Wei Hao went over and cupped his hands at Li Shimin.

"Well, sit down, there is no curfew anyway, and the palace gates are not closed so quickly, let's talk!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao, and Wang De immediately made a cup of green tea in a glass and put it on the table. He went out and closed the door at the same time.

"It's just us!" Li Shimin said as he put down the books, then sighed, and walked to the window, looking at the darkness outside.

"What's the matter, father?" Wei Hao asked when he heard Li Shimin sigh.

"Go to Gao Ming's place?" Li Shimin then asked.

"Well, I went in the afternoon, why don't I go to pay New Year's greetings." Wei Hao nodded, still looking at Li Shimin incomprehensibly, isn't this a question knowingly?

"Did you see Wu Mei?" Li Shimin continued to ask, and Wei Hao continued to nod.

"How is this girl?" Li Shimin turned his head again, looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Too immature, but I'm very keen on scheming!" Wei Hao told the truth, Li Shimin nodded, turned around and walked over at this time, and sat opposite Wei Hao.

"Gao Ming, what do you think? To be honest, don't think that he is Li Zhi's elder brother, so you are partial to him. Father wants to hear you tell the truth. Don't be shy. We are the only ones here, and no one has recorded it." Li Shimin looked Looking at Wei Hao said, Wei Hao smiled wryly.

"What a wry smile, can't my father hear the truth from you?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"Yes, it's just that His Highness is still young, and it's inevitable to make mistakes, but if you can't make two mistakes in one place, it's a bit unforgivable." Wei Hao said with a wry smile,

Li Shimin heard this and nodded.

"I am worried that the land of the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed in the hands of women. Gao Ming has a soft ear, and the emperor understands it very well. He has so many ministers assigned to him. He doesn't believe it. He doesn't use it. He just listens. The person next to the pillow, my father didn't say not to listen to the person next to the pillow, but how can a woman hiding in the deep palace understand the important affairs of the court?

Even I, sometimes I can't see everything, and I may be deceived, not to mention the women hiding in the deep palace, relying on those memorials, they think they can control the world?They don't know that the people below report good news and not bad news?Confused! "Li Shimin said very worriedly at the moment.

"Father, why didn't you tell His Highness clearly?" Wei Hao immediately asked back.

"Speaking clearly, is it useful? If there is something, the father can't say it. The more you say it, the more he resists and refuses to listen to you. He thinks the father will harm him? What do you ask the father to do? Gao Ming is a child with a high spirit, When something happens, I will panic immediately, and my father is always worried, is he a qualified emperor?" Li Shimin sat there and said again.

"Father, let him experience more setbacks!" Wei Hao thought for a while, and felt that what Li Shimin said was right, the so-called knowing a son is like a father, and no one knows what kind of person Li Chengqian is like Li Shimin.

"What if it becomes obsolete?" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao again, Wei Hao was stunned for a moment.

"Father is worried that he will be abolished. He is very angry. If he can't adjust himself, maybe he will be abolished. The prince who has been cultivated by the father for so many years will be abolished like this? The father is also afraid!" Li Shimin sighed. talking.

"What do you mean, father?" Wei Hao didn't know what to do at the moment.

"I don't know, my father still wants to ask you. Do you have any ideas? Normally, you have the most ideas." Li Shimin shook his head and looked at Wei Hao.

"Father, you, are you embarrassing me?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin speechlessly at the moment. He dared to come up with an idea for this kind of thing. If something happened, he would be in great trouble.

"Yeah, it's all about throwing rats, and the father is the same now. I don't know what to do with him? You say he is okay, he keeps making such mistakes, you say he is not good, those things in the court are handled. It's really good, but a person's ability is not based on the ordinary, but whether he can make up his mind at critical moments. If he can't make up his mind, then this person is not a talent, and it is even more impossible to control the world! " Li Shimin said with a sigh, Wei Hao heard it, did not speak, just listened to Li Shimin quietly.

"This time, there is a lot of news about Chang'an City, just waiting for you to leave Chang'an, you know?" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao.

Wei Hao nodded, and then said: "I went to the East Palace today to remind His Highness of this matter, but what His Highness means is that those merchants acted on their own, and His Highness has no reason to interfere. The saying is that those workshops cannot fail, and those people who hold stocks cannot be bullied or forced to buy stocks, of course, those businessmen are just on the surface, behind them are those princes and some lords!"

"I know that behind you are the shadows of Li Ke and Li Tai, the shadows of the aristocratic family, and the shadows of some marquises and earls. They didn't get enough benefits when you set up the workshop last time. They are not reconciled. I want to wait for you to leave and start working. Those workshops have royal shares, yours, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and those of the state, and they don’t hold much.

Gao Ming actually has quite a few, but Gao Ming, hmph, actually wants to control some of the workshops, talking about making money, but in fact, the three of them are fighting for it, and they all have the support of the aristocratic family behind them! " Li Shimin said with a sneer.

"All of them?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in shock. Could it be that Li Chengqian also has them?
"All of them!" Li Shimin nodded affirmatively.

"This? Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in shock. This made it difficult for Wei Hao to understand. Li Chengqian still colluded with the family, so that's not good.

"Wu Mei hooked up!" Li Shimin said.

"What?" Li Shimin was even more shocked.

"Someone found Samurai Xun, so Samurai Xun went to look for Wu Mei, and Wu Mei convinced Gao Ming!" Li Shimin continued to say to Wei Hao.

"Then, yes, whose family is it?" Wei Hao asked immediately.

"The Du family!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao very simply.

"Here, is the Du family crazy?" Wei Hao was surprised, he had reminded them.

"You don't understand, you, there are still many things you don't understand about the aristocratic family. It's no wonder they don't intervene. However, the Du family is very smart and knows that investing wisely is the most suitable. Others may not be suitable. The key is also Because of you, you are Gao Ming's brother-in-law,
Although you and the Wei family are at odds, no matter what, you can talk in the Wei family, so the Du family also went to find Gao Ming, and Gao Ming also planned to have the support of the Du family and the Wei family in the capital. Then basically there is no big problem. Of course, Wu Mei said these words to him. It is estimated that there will be problems in those workshops this time, but as long as this problem does not annoy you, it will be fine, as long as you don’t care , then they dare to do anything aggressively, and then accumulate financial resources! " Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Here, father, why don't I go to Luoyang?" Wei Hao said immediately after hearing what Li Shimin said.

"Go, those people don't jump up, how to clean up people, let them jump up, what should you do in Luoyang, even say, father is free to go to Luoyang for a while, here, let them play Well, Father wants to see what kind of chaos Chang'an can become." Li Shimin smiled and said indifferently.

"However, the foreign aggression has not been resolved, the border conflicts continue, and now the court urgently needs a lot of money and food, and they are preparing to fight, so they still do it like this?" Wei Hao said a little angrily.

"They care about you?" Li Shimin asked back, Wei Hao was speechless.

"Don't be angry, let them jump around, don't worry about it, when you should get angry, the emperor will inform you, don't say anything about the rest, after getting married, go to Luoyang in a few days, take care of it What happened in Luoyang!" Li Shimin reminded Wei Hao.

"I know, but I am not reconciled. These workshops were not built for them, but for our Tang Dynasty. If they do this, I am!" Wei Hao was indeed a little angry.

"Fan can't be messed up, it can't be messed up, it's good to clean it up, otherwise, when they are powerful, it will be troublesome if they can't clean it up, it's okay!" Li Shimin persuaded Wei Hao, Wei Hao nodded helplessly.

"Drink tea!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao, who took the tea and drank it.

"When you arrive in Luoyang, there is one more thing. You have to hurry up and control the army. Whoever is disobedient and whoever is replaced, no matter what his identity is, you must control the army in Luoyang!" Li Shimin continued to Wei Hao. , Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin incomprehensibly.

"Let's control it first. It's not a bad thing. What if we don't need it when it's time to use it?" Li Shimin didn't explain to Wei Hao, and let Wei Hao control it.

"Yes, I understand!" Wei Hao nodded immediately.

"Well, there are no other things. Hey, it's okay. With you here, my father doesn't worry, and I don't worry if there is a mess. They want to see my jokes. Even your uncle wants to see me. You want to see my jokes, look, and see who laughs and who cries!" Li Shimin continued,
Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in astonishment, there was a lot of news here, and now Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with Changsun Wuji!

Then Wei Hao and Li Shimin continued to chat, chatting about things in Chang'an and Luoyang, until it was very late at Zishi, when the gates of the palace were locked, Li Shimin notified Wang De and took Wei Hao out in person Otherwise, Wei Hao can't get out, and Wei Hao stays in the palace very late, people outside also know the news, they are all guessing, what did Li Shimin tell Wei Hao, why is it so late?
